The strength of our organisation and our brand is inextricably linked with the quality of our service and our people, and our day-to-day conduct in dealing with our customers, partners, colleagues and other stakeholders. Every interaction and transaction has an impact on our reputation and the ongoing growth of our business.

Workforce

As a business which recognises our employees as our greatest asset, Quartzelec is committed to their support and development. We make major investments in both external and work-based training in order to equip employees with the skills and qualifications they need to perform their work to the highest quality and service and reach their full potential within the business and our industry.

We offer structured training and mentoring to support confidence, job satisfaction, productivity and career progress.

We operate and, when necessary, enforce strict policies to protect employees from any kind of discrimination, harassment, bullying and similar workplace issues. We provide a readily accessible means of raising issues or concerns about any aspect of their working life without fear of recrimination.

Community

As a diverse group with many business interests based at and working at multiple geographical sites, we consider it paramount to respect the various wider communities in which we operate.

This approach includes initiatives individual to our respective sites such as charitable activities and involvement in community projects, to consultation with communities in and around which we deliver customer projects in order to mitigate the effects of our work.

For 2023/24 Quartzelec is excited to announce that we have decided to further cement our commitment to our people and our local communities in championing two National UK charities for the year ahead:

• The Smallpeice Trust: Giving young people an opportunity to fuel their passion for engineering, helping to make their big ideas a reality
• The Trussell Trust: Aiming to build a hunger free future for everyone

Supporting The Smallpeice Trust at Group Level was an easy choice. Their dedication to ensuring young people gain access to high level, inclusive and engaging STEM activities is a fantastic platform to introduce and encourages the concept of a career in the world of engineering – a mission that fully reflects our commitment to providing the opportunity and training for Quartzelec people to reach their full potential within our business.

The Trussell Trust has helped provide emergency food and support to people who have been affected by a crisis. It’s a cause that has touched a lot of people and our employees have embraced the opportunity to engage with and provide further local support in terms of foodbank drives and raising additional funds.

Keep up to date with our local community engagement on both our website news page and on our social media posts!
